THE Petersfield Summer Festival is back, filling the town with sights and sounds over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

And what a festival has been planned - from live music, market stalls, a Kids' Zone, animals to touch, classic cars and bikes to see, acts to vote on, towers to climb, the stage is set for the biggest local show for miles around.

Some 10,000 visitors are expected to fill the centre of Petersfield during the festival.

New this year is a motor festival. Run in association with Petersfield Summer Festival, The Herald is bringing its inaugural summer motor show to the town on Sunday August 26.

Some 50 classic cars, ranging from a 1924 Morris Cowley to a 2003 Alfa Romeo Spider, are expected to be on display in the High Street and Chapel Street.
